A/C Installation and Maintenance FAQs
How often should I schedule air conditioning maintenance?
It is recommended to schedule air conditioning maintenance at least once a year. Ideally, you should have your A/C unit inspected and serviced before the start of the cooling season to ensure it is in optimal condition.
What does air conditioning maintenance involve?
During an A/C maintenance service, our trained technicians will perform a series of checks and tasks to ensure that your unit is working properly. This includes cleaning or replacing air filters, checking and cleaning coils, inspecting electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, checking refrigerant levels, and testing system controls.
Why is air filter cleaning or replacement important?
Air filters help to trap dust, dirt, and other particles from circulating in your home. Over time, these filters can become clogged, reducing airflow and causing strain on your A/C system. Regular cleaning or replacement of air filters helps to maintain proper airflow and improve indoor air quality.
Can I clean the coils myself?
Cleaning coils requires special tools and knowledge, so it is best to leave this task to a professional. Coils can easily be damaged if not cleaned properly, and a technician will have the expertise to ensure that the cleaning is done safely and effectively.
Why is checking refrigerant levels necessary?
Refrigerant is a vital component of your A/C system as it helps to cool the air. If your unit is low on refrigerant, it can indicate a leak or another issue that needs to be addressed. Checking refrigerant levels during maintenance allows for early detection of any problems and ensures that your unit is operating at peak efficiency.
How can I maintain my A/C unit between professional maintenance visits?
There are a few simple steps you can take to keep your A/C unit in good condition between professional maintenance visits. These include regularly cleaning or replacing air filters, keeping the area around the outdoor unit clear of debris, and checking for any unusual noises or smells coming from the unit.
What are the benefits of regular air conditioning maintenance?
Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your A/C unit, improve its energy efficiency, prevent breakdowns, and improve indoor air quality. It also allows for early detection and resolution of any potential issues before they become major problems.
How much does air conditioning maintenance cost?
The cost of air conditioning maintenance can vary depending on factors such as the size and type of your A/C unit, the location, and the service provider. Contact us for a consultation and an estimate.
Ductless Mini-Split FAQs
What is a ductless mini-split system?
A ductless mini-split system is a type of heating and cooling system that doesn't require ductwork. It consists of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, which are typically mounted on the wall or ceiling. The indoor units are connected to the outdoor unit by refrigerant lines, and they distribute conditioned air directly into the room.
What are the benefits of a ductless mini-split system?
Ductless mini-split systems offer several benefits. They are energy-efficient, as they don't suffer from the energy loss associated with ductwork. They provide individual temperature control for each room, allowing for personalized comfort. They are also easy to install, as they don't require any ductwork modifications. Additionally, they can be used for both heating and cooling, making them versatile.
How often should I have my ductless mini-split system serviced?
It is recommended to have your ductless mini-split system serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps ensure that your system is running efficiently and can help prevent potential issues before they become major problems. During a maintenance visit, a qualified technician will inspect and clean the components of your system, check for any leaks or damage, and make any necessary adjustments. Contact us at Kerr County A/C & Heating Services for a consultation on mini-split maintenance timelines!
What should I do if my ductless mini-split system isn't working properly?
If you're experiencing issues with your ductless mini-split system, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take before calling for professional repair. First, check the power supply to ensure that the system is receiving electricity. Next, check the thermostat settings to make sure they are correctly set. You can also check the air filters and clean or replace them if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's best to contact us at Kerr County for further diagnosis and repair.
Can I install a ductless mini-split system myself?
While it is possible to install a ductless mini-split system yourself, we recommend contacting the Kerr County team for installation. Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and efficiency of your system. Our professional technicians have the necessary knowledge, experience, and equipment to ensure that your system is installed correctly and safely.
How long does a ductless mini-split system last?
With proper maintenance and care, a ductless mini-split system can last up to 20 years or more. Regular maintenance, including cleaning the filters, keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris, and scheduling professional inspections, can help prolong the lifespan of your system.
What type of warranty is included with a ductless mini-split system?
The warranty for a ductless mini-split system varies depending on the manufacturer and model. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty that covers certain components of the system for a specific period of time. It's important to review the warranty information provided by the manufacturer or consult with your technician from Kerr County A/C & Heating Services HVAC to understand the specific terms and coverage of your system's warranty.
